i know the types of technologies u.s. companies produce, that i will be looking at in china, that they are now using to monitor air quality in beijing, to give the people in beijing real-time information about their air quality. that is success moving forward. that is success for the u.s., and that is a building block for china, that will get them moving forward in leaps and bounds, which is frankly, what needs to be done. so i do remain hopeful. i know that, in the united states, for every dollar we have invested in the clean air act, we have recouped four dollars to eight dollars in economic benefits. if we can convince the chinese that our continued relationship is worth that investment, then we will all reap those benefits together. i think i should end there and thank you all for allowing me to be here. let's start the conversation and, again, congratulations to cap for 10 years. i look forward to what you will do. you have been pretty good so far. thank you very much.

technology made it easier for companies to do more with less, eliminating certain job occupations. a more competitive world lets companies ship jobs anywhere. and as good manufacturing jobs automated or headed offshore, workers lost their leverage, jobs paid less and offered fewer benefits. as values of community broke down, and competitive pressure increased, businesses lobbied washington to weaken unions and the value of the minimum wage. as a trickle-down ideology became more prominent, taxes were slashed for the wealthiest, while investments in things that make us all richer, like schools and infrastructure, were allowed to wither. and for a certain period of time, we could ignore this weakening economic foundation, in part because more families were relying on two earners as women entered the workforce. we took on more debt financed by a juiced-up housing market. but when the music stopped, and the crisis hit, millions of families were stripped of whatever cushion they had left. and the result is an economy that's become profoundly unequal, and families that are more insecure.
